Camp Quest Oklahoma Planned a Fundraiser at a Local Restaurant Tonight,

but the Christian Owner is Refusing to Work with Them.

Camp Quest Oklahoma is trying to raise money for this summer’s camping session and they partnered with a local restaurant for a fundraiser last night. The idea was that if you ate at Oklahoma Joe’s BBQ in the city of Broken Arrow, 10% of your receipt would go back to Camp Quest.....

That was the case until Camp Quest supporters arrived at the restaurant and saw this on the door…

Unfortunately, in Broken Arrow the restaurant would face a severe backlash if the fundies found out. He is better off to take the bad press from the left, than what he would get from the right/Bible-bangers.

The Bible says, "do unto others..." and I'm pretty sure this isn't the way Joe Davidson would want to be treated. It is, after all, a for profit restaurant that he's running, not a church.

I was planning on calling Inhofe as well, not that it will do any good.
